EGGLESS RECIPE
700g (4 cups) mix fruits (consist of cherries, apricots, raisins, plums, blackcurrants)
50g (1/2 cup) glazed red cherries
50g (1/2 cup) glazed green cherries
1 tbsp orange zest
180ml (3/4 cup) whiskey (you can also use brandy, rum OR gin) OR (orange or pineapple juice for non-alcohol)
125g (1 cup) pecans, chopped
125g (1 cup) cashews, chopped
283g (2 1/3 cup) all-purpose flour or plain flour
2 tsp mixed spice **
1 ¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
226g (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
225g (1 ¼ cup) light brown sugar
185g (3/4 cup) plain yogurt
1 tbsp molasses (OR jam)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp orange juice (add when you feels the batter is too dry)
Instructions:
1. In a glass jug or container, add the mix fruits, glazed cherries, orange zest and alcohol (or juice for non-alcohol).
2. Soak overnight or even up to 1 week, in room temp.
On the day of baking:
3. Squeeze 1 tbsp orange juice and set aside.
4. Chop the pecans and cashews, set aside.
5. Strain the soaked mix fruits and nuts.
6. Preheat oven at 140°C/285°F.
7. Sift all the dry ingredients.
8. In a mixer bowl, add butter (softened) and sugar. Start with low speed for 1 min so that they come together. Then switch to medium speed and mix for about 5 min or until creamy, fluffy and pale.
9. Add eggs, one at a time. [for EGGLESS: add the yogurt, you may add all at one go). Mix until well incorporated.
10. Add molasses, vanilla extract and orange juice. Add 1 tbsp first. (Second tbsp after adding dry ingredients, add only if necessary like if the batter is too dry)
11. Add the sifted dry ingredients, in 2 batches. Use low speed so that no over mixing. Stop mixing as soon as the flour disappear. Do not over mix. (Add another tbsp of orange juice if needed)
12. Add in the strained mix fruits and nuts. Set the strained alcohol or juice aside for later use.
13. Pour into a 8x8x3 inch pan, greased and lined with parchment paper.
14. Cut 2 pieces of parchment papers with a hole in the middle for peeping purpose. This is to prevent the cake top from burnt and overcooked. Place these papers right on top of the cake.
15. Bake in preheated oven at 140°C/285°F for about 3.5 to 3.75 hours. Put cake on the lower rack.
I know, yes! Bake for that long. Don’t worry if the cake will dry out, it won’t as we are not finished after baking :)
16. Let the cake cool for 30 min.
17. Randomly poke holes on the cake using a skewer. This is for absorption later. Brush the cake with the strained alcohol or juice.
18. Wrap the cake with cling film, make sure you wrap it tight to keep moisture in the cake. Let it sit in room temp overnight or up to 2 weeks (if you’re using alcohol) TIP: the longer it sits, the better the cake will be. If you’re using juice, refrigerate after 3 days of being in room temp.
19. Occasionally unwrap and brush the cake with more alcohol or juice.
20. The cake will be ready for cutting and to serve.

My mother from a tiny fishing village in Kerala baked a similar recipe every Christmas. This recipe must be over 100 years old. She used to bake it in an aluminium deep round dekshi with vegetable fat not unsalted butter and with granulated sugar and with coals! In the 80s she switched to unsalted butter and a cake oven which resembled a box placed over a gas flame. It still tastes the same although we are now using an electric oven and soft brown sugar! Evolving but thevoriginal method still was good. I love that there is no noise! Cant escape the noise levels in demos so you get 100/100.

[@noorgm6440]

I'm baking it right now. It's in the oven. I just cannot wait for it to bake, cool down, brush with rum and have it tomorrow!! I couldn't contain my happiness and so, I came here to comment. ❤️ Also, I quartered the recipe because I am alone for Christmas (covid isn't helping anyone) so I thought I'll make a smaller cake and if I get the baking time right, I'll make one more closer to Christmas to send to friends.

[@herenow2902]

I made Christmas cake for the first time ever, using this recipe. I soaked some of the candied fruits a few days back in rum+ whiskey, bought more black raisins the day before and added them too. I doubled the quantity - made 2 best cakes I have ever tasted. My kids typically don’t like the candied fruits. But they can’t stop eating this one, I hadn’t noticed it takes 3.5 hrs to bake, I put it in the oven at 8.30 pm. Had to wake up past midnight to pull it out of the oven. The house was smelling great all night 😀. Saved the 2nd cake for Xmas day, Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Merry Christmas ❤️

@@rifavp8299 I did it as the recipe said and it was delicious. Fruit cake has a denser texture, so there is no need for a rising agent. Butter and eggs are already enough to make the cake rise and soft. (For the eggless version, I guess there are baking powder to help the rising and baking soda + yogurt to have the cake moist and softer as there is no egg).

I made exactly half qty ..so all ingredients were half.. 2. I used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. 3. I used a loaf pan for Baking. 4. I took 245grams of mixed berries & after soaking they were approx 300grams. 5. Cashew+almond+walnut= total 100grams I took. 6. I used oil 1/2 cup instead of butter. 7. I found the batter consistency was too thick so I added 3-4 tablespoons of orange juice at the end. 8. I baked for 30 min @ 170°c, then reduced to 150°c for another 30min...and my toothpick came out clean at the end. 9. I cooled the cake for around 45min.. before cutting..

I am trying your recipe in a few days. Just one quick question: I normally bake my cakes for 30 to 50 mins. maximum, and at 175 deg C max. I was wondering if 3.5 hours isn't too long ? Would appreciate your response.

[@gracioustreatz7231]

Hi Sir. I hope I am not late to answer your question. Trust me on the 3.5 hour. I know it's long. But for this traditional fruit cake recipe, you will need that long to get that color and right texture of the cake. This fruit cake is no other cake because if you are using alcohol, I can tell you this cake can stay in room temp for at least a month without any problem. So you need that long bake for all these reasons too. Wishing you the best of luck!

I don't know how many times I had made this fruit cake, but this is my top list cakes for Christmas

[@gracioustreatz7231]

❤️ CORRECTION ALERT ❤️ It's 2 tsp mixed spice (not 2 tbsp). Apologize for the inconvenience 😔 EGGLESS recipe is in the description box. FAQ: Why do we need 3 ½ hours bake? Wouldn't it be overcooked? This is a traditional recipe where the original actually takes 4 hours, I have cut down to 3¼ to 3½ hr. This cake actually cooked at 1 hr, however, the flavor and color is not satisfactory. The long bake will help a well seasoned of the fruits and brings out the flavor, and you will get a nice dark color of the cake. And also because of this long bake, the cake can store in room temp for at least 1 to 2 months (only for alcohol)

[@anaismalak3790]

What does mean tbsp?

[@sunnypaul7697]

Gracious treatz, dont we need to add baking powder n soda to the egg recipe, the cake would be flat if it's missing right?

[@sunnypaul7697]

@@anaismalak3790 it's tablespoon

What name packaging that you use

[@sanafizasana4351]

Hi. I have a question Can we make it without alcohol

[@gracioustreatz7231]

@@sanafizasana4351 yes you can. If you wish to soak your dry fruits, you can go for sparkling juice or orange juice

[@isharafernando977]

Hi, I have a question too, if I use orange juice, should I place in the fridge for 3 days or out side. Thanks

[@rupadeepanju4750]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I loved your recipe out of all the other recipes available on YT (I would've looked at at least 10). Baked the cake yesterday and it turned out AMAZING! I did add 1/2 TSP of baking powder and baked it on stove (15 mins on medium flame and 55 mins on slow flame) I used a 6 inch mould and reduced the ingredients by half of what you've suggested. Thanks a ton for this recipe. Merry Christmas 🎄❤️

[@kamaljeetkaur6988]

What was the weight of your cake. Can u please share

[@louwrainemyburgh8835]

YES!!!This looks like the one my mum made, whose recipe I lost. Thanks.

[@divyabhargava8336]

Hi nice video. Here in india we use condensed milk instead of eggs.some use flaxseeds paste/powder too as curd doesn't stay good for too long in such baked recipes.if using the cakes made from.curd then we finish it off in a one or two.for increasing its shelf life for four days we add condensed milk only. So i use it in my Christmas/plum cakes too.

[@pamaujla3079]

Am feeling so fortunate that I found you. Excellent recipes and presentation without uttering a word. Silence feels good. Thanks a million for sharing. Will be trying the eggless recipes. God Bless.

Fiona!!! Thank you for the wonderful receipe!! I made it using orange juice instead of rum, it turned out soooooo delicous! Thank you! And I've a question.. May i just cut down sugar from all your cake recipes? Will it impact the quality of the cake ? Thank you in advance

[@ccycomeoriginal]

Wasn't it too sweet? It seems to be that the recipe has too much sugar

[@perojr.4134]

Hello dear my friend. Nice cooking video. good delicious. Like👍👍😘💝🎄🎀🎄🎀🎄✨

[@lenay2023]

i am very excited as i have soaked the dry fruits today, however is it ok i am using 500gm mixed fruits , 200gm prunes & 100gm apricot soaked in captain morgan spiced gold rum, do i still use 225gm brown sugar? i am afraid if i used different type of fruits it will affect the sweetness/taste. because i dont much enjoy cherries. always thankfull of your guidance/pointers. 😋. thank you so much.

[@fabinadsouza9845]

Very nice cake mouth watering so decent n neat packing thank U
